"Lillian Lies" as written by and William Toby Martin....
Lillian lies to avoid awkward questions
Looks to the sky for intervention
But she can't avoid judgmental
Compassion
In the void
She puts on her face, makes it a brave one
Gets herself a seat on an interstate greyhound
When everything's gone at least you've got nothing
That holds on
She curls herself up, rests her head on the window
Sees her face in the trees suspended in limbo
When everything's gone at least you've got nothing
That holds on
You're a stranger in a country town
The kids all stare, the cars slow down
You didn't think you'd be so dumb
To just grab a hold of whatever came along
Houses slip by, the cloud are so low
The sky doesn't cover, it swallows
Looks to the sky for intervention
But she can't avoid judgmental
Compassion
In the void
She puts on her face, makes it a brave one
Gets herself a seat on an interstate greyhound
When everything's gone at least you've got nothing
That holds on
She curls herself up, rests her head on the window
Sees her face in the trees suspended in limbo
When everything's gone at least you've got nothing
That holds on
You're a stranger in a country town
The kids all stare, the cars slow down
You didn't think you'd be so dumb
To just grab a hold of whatever came along
Houses slip by, the cloud are so low
The sky doesn't cover, it swallows

"when everythings gone at least you've got nothing
that holds on"
this song could be written about me.
I am Lillian.
The kids all stare, the cars slow down
You didn't think you'd be so dumb
To just grab a hold of whatever came along
for some reason, that part just grabs me. i think it's because when i'm somewhere foreign, i always feel like people are staring at me, watching me, knowing i'm not a from around there.
i think this song illustrates how alone lillian is. i like it though because she is brave, she is at least trying to escape, i think it takes guts to be able to go out on your own.
